Animal QTLdb

Animal Quantitative Trait Loci

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
This Animal Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) database (Animal QTLdb) is designed to house all publicly available QTL and trait mapping data (i.e. trait and genome location association data; collectively called "QTL data" on this site) on livestock animal species for easily locating and making comparisons within and between species. New database tools are continuely added to align the QTL and association data to other types of genome information, such as annotated genes, RH / SNP markers, and human genome maps. Besides the QTL data from species listed below, the QTLdb is open to house QTL/association date from other animal species where feasible. Note that the JAS along with other journals, now require that new QTL/association data be entered into a QTL database as part of their publication requirements.

FishSounds

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
FishSounds presents a compilation of acoustic recordings and published information on sound production across all extant fish species globally. We hope this information can be used to advance research into fish behavior, passive acoustic monitoring, and human impacts on underwater soundscapes as well as serve as a public resource for anyone interested in learning more about fish sounds. This work is the product of an international collaboration between researchers and developers from five organizations. We have taken a cross-disciplinary approach, combining expertise in fish ecology, bioacoustics, and data management to produce a website that we hope will serve the wider marine research community. All versions of the FishSounds website and associated publications and products are stored in a long-term Dataverse dataset as a permanent repository (https://doi.org/10.5683/SP2/TACOUX).

FinBIF is an integral part of the global biodiversity informatics framework, dedicated to managing species information. Its mission encompasses a wide array of services, including the generation of digital data through various processes, as well as the sourcing, collation, integration, and distribution of existing digital data. Key initiatives under FinBIF include the digitization of collections, the development of data systems for collections Kotka (https://biss.pensoft.net/article/37179/) and observations (https://biss.pensoft.net/article/39150/), and the establishment of a national DNA barcode reference library. FinBIF manages data types such as verbal species descriptions (which include drawings, pictures, and other media types), biological taxonomy, scientific collection specimens, opportunistic systematic and event-based observations, and DNA barcodes. It employs a unified IT architecture to manage data flows, delivers services through a single online portal, fosters collaboration under a cohesive umbrella concept, and articulates development visions under a unified brand. The portal Laji.fi serves as the entry point to this harmonized open data ecosystem. FinBIF's portal is accessible in Finnish, Swedish, and English. Data intended for restricted use are made available to authorities through a separate portal, while open data are also shared with international systems, such as GBIF.

Australian Waterbird Surveys

AWS

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
Australian Waterbird Surveys (AWS) is an information source of waterbird communities around Australia, based on surveys of their diversity and numbers. It relies on rigorous data collection protocols and includes more than 50 waterbird species and up to 30 years of survey data. This open source also includes the extent of flooding of thousands of wetlands observed during our surveys. As a group, waterbirds can be sentinels of the ecological health of our wetlands and rivers. We hope this free information system will help track long-term changes in the environment, provide an assessment tool for individual species, report on our national and international responsibilities and help improve the way we manage our rivers and wetlands. It has been developed with the support of research and government partners.

<<<!!!<<< The ArkDB is now CLOSED With apologies to anyone who still relies on the ArkDB data system or map-drawing tools, we've had to take the difficult decision to shut down the ArkDB system. We've not been funded to maintain it for many years now and have kept it in the air as best we could with the time that we had available but recent changes in personnel and continuing updates to the underpinning libraries mean that the effort required to keep it going outweighs the perceived benefits. If you feel that this is the wrong decision, please contact us to let us know and we'll see what we can do together You can always contact us on our Roslin Bioinformatics email address (roslin.bioinformatics@roslin.ed.ac.uk) The Roslin Bioinformatics Team 21st November 2018 >>>!!!>>>
